1. A five-pack of Affresh washing machine cleaners because, yes, your dishwasher does need to be cleaned occasionally, despite the fact that its literal job is to wash the things you put inside it.

Target

Promising review: "We use this on the 10th of every month. It really cleans the tub. I wipe the inside of the lid and the drum top to make sure the washer is ready to go for the next month." —49ernut

Price: $11.29

2. A power scrubber, which takes its inspiration from your electric toothbrush to visibly restore your tile grout back to its former glory — and just about anything else in your home that's covered in a weird gunk.

Target

Promising review: "My husband and I absolutely love our lil' scrubber! We bought it to use on interior auto upholstery where our drill brushes simply can't agitate. Seams of seats, around the head rests; the bristles are even soft enough to use on the dash plastic and did an awesome job at de-gunking dash buttons!" —Miranda

Price: $19.99

3. A HEPA air purifier that'll circulate the air in your room four times per hour and is virtually silent. Pet hair, dander, dust, and seasonal allergies are no match for this lil' thing.

Price: $89.99

4. A pack of stainless steel wipes to instantly wipe away those mysterious streaks, smudges and handprints that somehow always appear on your fridge, oven, and sink.

Target

Promising review: "I've tried a few different stainless steel cleaners, and by far this one is top of the mark! I even use it on my sink when it's wet, and it always dries to a beautiful shine when used on my enamel stove; it is the best for cleaning stainless steel and kitchen appliances! Thank you, Weiman; you're the best!" —Kat

Price: $4.99 for 30 wipes

5. A shower squeegee to rid the glass around your in-house waterfall of any streaks, water stains, and mildew that might be building up. Works great on steamed-up bathroom mirrors after getting out of the shower, too!

Target

Promising review: "I purchased this to clean glass shower doors after showering. The short handle makes it perfect. It cleans glass so well that you think there is no door there!! I have also used it on windows. I have only had it a couple of weeks, so am hoping it holds up well. The hooked handle allows you to hang it near the shower." —chris

Price: $10.99

6. A pair of sturdy-yet-comfy cleaning gloves to protect your latest mani as well as prevent all those cleaning chemicals from drying out your hands.

Target

Promising review: "Powerful cleaning. I am in love with this oven cleaner. I sprayed the product on, waited 20–30 minutes, and then wiped it off. Most of the nasty baked-on messes wiped right off. I will likely need a longer setting time for the little bits left over. Remember to ventilate well and not use in conjunction with bleach!" —Jijizzzzzzz

Price: $5.29

8. A honeysuckle-scented surface cleaner from Mrs. Meyer's powerful enough to disinfect just about anything in your home, while being gentle enough that you can use it safely around children and pets. Plus, it smells divine!

Target

Promising review: "I love these cleaners. I feel they get grime off easier and work on a multitude of surfaces.

Price: $4.99

11. An O-Cedar spin mop and bucket that represents what I would call true *MOP MAGIC.* With a hands-free wringer, splash guard, and millions of microfiber strands that can cut through dirt *without* harsh chemicals, I'm not sure what else you could ask of a mop. This thing is the GOAT of cleaning house.

Target

Promising review: "Literally obsessed with this thing! It makes cleaning every nook and cranny so much easier. I use it for my floors, walls, ceilings, behind the toilet, you name it. So happy I bought it." —Momofgirls

Promising review: "So handy for a good clean. Convenient for a short person to reach the hard to reach spots." —Evie

Price: $13.99

13. A three-pack of Clorox wipes so you'll be prepared when the next disaster strikes. They're safe to use on everything from finished wood to granite countertops and kill off all kinds of yucky bacteria and viruses along the way.

Target

Promising review: "My mother taught me always to vacuum the floorboards, but I never do. So after a while, they accumulate dust and look grungy. These are perfect for wiping them down so I can ignore them for a month or two. And of course, these are great wipes for countertops. But they're essential for getting dust off the toilet tank (why do toilets hold onto dust so tenaciously, anyway?) and getting to hard-to-clean spots around faucets as well." —Theabeanster

Price: $6.99 for a pack of three

14. A Dyson cordless vacuum because the worst part of vacuuming is battling with the cord. Reviewers rave about its ability to suck up pet hair from any surface!

Target

Promising review: "Nothing like a cordless vacuum! It makes cleaning fun again. The Dyson does a wonderful job and even does the stairs. The only downside is that it does not hold a charge long but still so much easier to navigate than a big upright sweeper." —Rheen

Price: $299.99 (originally $429.99)

15. A Bissel carpet cleaner to zhuzh all your rugs, couch cushions, upholstered chairs and decorative pillows with the high-powered deep clean they deserve (and have desperately needed for low-key years). Dust, dander, and dirt be darned!

Target

Promising review: "So easy to use and it does a great job! It will definitely pay for itself, happy with my purchase." —Mj

Price: $99.99 (originally $123.99)

16. A six-pack of microfiber cleaning cloths so you can wipe up every surface in your home in the most sustainable way possible — because there's nothing sexy about ripping through two full rolls of paper towel just to clean your bathroom. Washable and reusable, these'll serve you well time and time again.

Target

Promising review: "Perfect for cleaning. I wish they would have these waffle texture cloths individually, I use them the most." —Ami 2

Price: $9.99

17. A hard-working, multitasking Scrub Mommy sponge here to literally bring a smile to the arduous task of doing your daily dishes. More importantly, that smile is helpful when it comes to scraping off every last bit of food stuck to your silverware and utensils!

Price: $3.89

Price: $3.49+ (available in sets of two or four)

19. A three-pack of drain cleaner tools because I wasn't playing when I said DEEP cleaning. That drain in your bathroom is likely loaded with hair and other scum — which means its time to go where no human should ever have to go, but inevitably must.

Target

Promising review: "Cleared the hair clog in my pop-up shower drain immediately, without having to remove the drain cap." —SS

Price: $5.99 

20. A four-piece Swiffer dusting kit, because even though you have been ignoring those rotating wings on your ceiling fan or the tops of your bookshelves, the dust does not care and has been doing its thing anyway. Now you have no excuses.

Target

Promising review: "Never been a duster person; I feel like you just move dust from one place to the next, but this is incredible. So easy. So efficient. Lightweight. Easy to reach hard-to-reach places, and dust actually clings to the duster. What a game changer!" —NK

Price: $9.99

21. A box of eight Lemi Shine garbage disposal tablets because while the G.D. is a blessing to have, it can end up smelling pretty badly. These convenient little tablets help freshen things up for ya in an instant.

Target

Promising review: "Works great! I use this every couple of weeks to keep things smelling fresh." —Serbo

Price: $8.99

22. A bottle of lime, calcium, and rust cleaner here to rid your shower and bathroom of tough hard water stains. You'll feel so much cleaner showering in a CLEAN shower (I know, crazy concept).

Target

Promising review: "This product instantly removed hard water stains that were baked onto my black truck. I had previously tried all the other methods I found on YouTube and none of them worked and were quite labor intensive. I highly recommend this product." —worked on my truck too

Price: $4.29

23. A bottle of Goo Gone spray because every home has some mysterious gooey substance that no one is quite sure where it came from. Fortunately, this liquid gold is sure to do the trick in no time.

Target

Price: $6.59

24. A clear organizing bin here to the rescue AFTER you spend hours cleaning up all those spills and crumbs from your fridge.
